ReadSpeaker invites you to their event

Do you feel like you are supporting your multi-lingual learners enough? Discover how text-to-speech is improving comprehension, fostering inclusivity and enabling exam success

About this event

Multi-lingual learners often face challenges with reading comprehension and pronunciation. If a student also has Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism, or another neurodiversity the challenge deepens, with potential impact to their academic performance and sense of belonging in school.

34% of all international schools now offer bilingual or multi-lingual learning, so what’s the solution for students facing challenges at these schools? Text-to-speech technology can provide valuable support and is an important pillar for Universal Design for Learning (UDL). It can help any student overcome reading challenges by supporting simultaneous audio and visual processing, ultimately helping them achieve success.

In this webinar, we'll explore how text-to-speech solutions can benefit all multi-lingual learners by:

  • Improving reading comprehension: ReadSpeaker's natural-sounding voices in more than 50 languages help learners understand the context and meaning of texts more effectively, supporting deeper comprehension and retention of information.
  • Enhancing pronunciation: By listening to texts read aloud, learners can improve their pronunciation and build confidence in speaking different languages.
  • Reducing exam anxiety: Text-to-speech solutions can help learners prepare for exams by providing them with the opportunity to listen to study materials and their own revision notes. This can help reduce anxiety and improve their performance on test day.

Join us for our discussion with our guest Louise Dawson, a specialist in accessible and inclusive education in the Middle East, as we share strategies and best practices for using ReadSpeaker in a classroom with multiple first languages. We’ll also have a live Q&A with our text to speech technical experts - if you'd like to submit questions before the webinar please send them to emily.worthington@readspeaker.com

This webinar will be presented in English.
